S’mores Heart Pillows

I absolutely loved making this recipe.  Especially since I had a pair of little helping hands with my daughter Madison by my side.  She was 5 years old at the time and now my little nutcracker is 8.  My how time flies.

Ingredients

• 1 – 14oz box pie crust
• 4 oz bar – 60% to 70% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar
• 42 pieces mini-marshmallows
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon water
• Raw sugar (we used a red one)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. To make your egg wash, whisk egg and water.  Set aside.
3. On a floured surface, roll out pie crusts.
4. Using a 4-inch wide heart-shaped cookie cutter, make as many pairs of hearts as possible.
5. Place chocolate in the center of each heart and top with 6 marshmallows each.
6. Brush edges with egg wash.
7. Top with second heart and press edges with fingertips.  Brush with egg wash.
8. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for about 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
9. After a minute or so, transfer to a cooling rack.
10. Serve warm.

Note:  marshmallows may burst through crust but heart will keep its shape.

Makes 7 pillows.
